A Brief Look at the Mazda B-Series
Mazda B-Series vehicles have come a long way since its inception in the early 1960s. The first model, Mazda B1500, was produced in 1961, and it served as the foundation that established the automaker's reputation in the truck and utility market. Over the decades, Mazda has continued to explore new frontiers in engineering by introducing various changes and iterations in the Mazda B-Series vehicle models. Thanks to these tweaks, Mazda has been able to maintain a competitive edge in a challenging market. In this article, we'll take a closer look at the evolution of the Mazda B-Series vehicle from its humble beginning to the current day.
First Generation (1961 – 1965):
The Mazda B-Series vehicle became a reality when the automaker decided to diversify into the truck and utility vehicle market in the early 1960s. The first model, Mazda B1500, had a 1.5L water-cooled four-cylinder engine that delivered 60 hp and 95 lb-ft of torque. The engine was paired with a four-speed manual transmission.
The Mazda B1500 had a 7-foot-long pickup bed, which was perfect for hauling cargo around town. The model was popular with farmers and small business owners, who found it convenient for their daily needs. However, the model was not durable as rust was a major issue due to poor construction quality.
Second Generation (1965 – 1977):
The second generation of the Mazda B-Series vehicle was introduced in 1965 and was produced until 1977. It featured a more substantial build than its predecessor and improved on rust prevention. Mazda also increased the engine size to 1.8L, delivering 85 hp and 108 lb-ft of torque. The model received a more significant overhaul in 1972, which saw the introduction of a 2.0L engine that could produce up to 100 hp and 118 lb-ft of torque.
The second-generation of the Mazda B-Series vehicle was available in three trim levels: standard, Deluxe, and Super Deluxe. The Deluxe and Super Deluxe had longer wheelbases and were equipped with more features such as power brakes, front disc brakes, and upgraded suspension components to increase comfort even when hauling heavy loads.
Third Generation (1977 – 1985):
Mazda ushered in the third generation of the Mazda B-Series vehicle in 1977. The third-generation model was available with a 2.0L, a 2.2L diesel, or a 2.6L gasoline engine. The 2.0L engine produced up to 80 hp, the diesel engine delivered 58 hp, and the 2.6L gasoline engine could produce up to 100 hp. The third generation also saw improvements in the suspension, transmission, and safety features.
The Mazda B-Series vehicle third generation also marked the introduction of a four-wheel-drive (4WD) option. The variant was available in either the standard, Deluxe, or Sundowner (later changed to SE-5) trim level. Mazda also decided to offer increased cabin comfort in the 4WD by installing improved heaters.
Fourth Generation (1985 – 1998):
The fourth generation of the Mazda B-Series vehicle debuted in 1985 and continued until 1998. This generation saw significant advancements in design, safety features, and engine power. Mazda replaced the previous generations' engines with multiple engines, which included a 2.0L, 2.2L, 2.3L, 2.5L, 2.6L, or a 4.0L engine. The engines were paired with either a four-speed or five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission.
Mazda introduced the B2600i 4×4 model in 1987, which featured electronic fuel injection. The B2600i 4×4 had an output of 140 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque. It was equipped with front and rear locking differentials, and electronically controlled transfer case shifting.
Fifth Generation (1998 – 2006):
Mazda's fifth-generation B-Series vehicle debuted in 1998 and was an almost identical truck to Ford Ranger, only difference being the unique Mazda grille and taillights. The model was available in several trim levels, including the B2500, B3000, and B4000. The engines options in the fifth generation B-Series vehicle included a 2.3L, 3.0L, and a 4.0L V6 engine. These engines were paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission and a 2WD or 4WD drivetrain.
Mazda introduced several updates in the fifth generation B-Series vehicle, including the availability of the Dual Sport trim level for the B3000. There was also an Off-Road package with Bilstein shocks, a torsion-bar front suspension, and larger tires.
Sixth Generation (2006 – 2012):
The sixth generation of the Mazda B-Series vehicle was the final one produced by the automaker. It was introduced in 2006, but Mazda rerouted production of Mazda B-Series for North America to a Ford plant in the United States. The sixth generation model had a 2.3L or 4.0L engine. The 2.3L delivered 143 hp and 154 lb-ft of torque, while the 4.0L V6 produced 207 hp and 238 lb-ft of torque.
Mazda didn't make many modifications to the sixth generation B-Series vehicle, except for minor changes in the 2010 model year. The modifications included new wheel designs and updated color options.
The Mazda B-Series vehicle model spans six generations and has undergone significant changes, improvements, and upgrades over the years. Mazda's ability to adapt to different markets and consumer needs has allowed the automaker to remain relevant in the utility vehicle market. The Mazda B-Series vehicle's legacy can be traced back to its humble beginnings in the early 1960s and its significant role in meeting small business, farmers, and ranchers' needs. Even though it may no longer be in production, the Mazda B-Series vehicle remains a symbol of Mazda's innovative approach to engineering and design.

Skip to content
You are reading the Teku development version documentation and some features may not be available in the stable release. You can switch to the stable version using the version box at the bottom of the screen.
Updated on November 18, 2020
Connect to a testnet
The following instructions describe the process to connect Teku to an Ethereum 2.0 testnet.
Important
This example connects to the Medalla testnet. If connecting to a different testnet (for example Pyrmont), update the --network option in the examples accordingly.
Networks can experience stability issues and are prone to regular resets. We recommend you regularly check network and client documentation for updates.
Prerequisites:
Teku allows you run a beacon chain client only, or you can run the beacon chain client with validators on a public testnet.
Run validators on a testnet
Ethereum 2.0 validators need to access an Ethereum 1.0 client to onboard new validators. Validators make deposits into Ethereum 1.0, and existing Ethereum 2.0 validators must process the deposits to allow the validators to join Ethereum 2.0.
Deposits are made into a deposit contract on the Goerli Ethereum 1.0 testnet.
The steps to run an Ethereum 2.0 validator on a testnet are:
 1. If using a local Ethereum 1.0 client, sync the Ethereum 1.0 network containing the deposit contract.
 Note
 This step is only required if using a local Ethereum 1.0 client such as Besu. If using a cloud-based service such as Infura, proceed to fund your deposit account.
 2. Fund the Ethereum 1.0 deposit account.
 3. Generate the validator keys and send the deposit to the deposit contract.
 4. Create a password file for each validator key.
 5. Start Teku with the validator keys.
Sync the Ethereum 1.0 network
This step is only required if using a local Ethereum 1.0 client.
This example uses Besu to connect to Ethereum 1.0, but any client can be used. Configure Besu to connect to Goerli and expose the RPC-HTTP APIs.
Example
besu --network=goerli --data-path=./goerli --rpc-http-enabled=true --rpc-http-port=8545 \
--rpc-http-api=ETH,NET,WEB3 --sync-mode=FAST --fast-sync-min-peers=2
Load the deposit account with ETH
You need an Ethereum 1.0 Goerli testnet account that contains the amount of Goerli ETH (plus gas) required to activate the validator. The medalla testnet requires 32 Goerli ETH per validator.
Tip
You can create an account on Goerli using Metamask, and use a faucet to fund the account. You can also request Goerli testnet ETH on the Medalla Discord channel.
Generate the validators and send the deposits
Use the Medalla Launchpad to guide you through a step-by-step process to generate your keys and send the deposits.
Note
Remember the passwords that you used to create the validator keys, because you need it to create the validator password files.
Create a password file for each validator key
For each validator key that you create, you need to create a text file containing the password to decrypt the key. The password file must have the same name as the key, but use the .txt extension.
Example
If the Launchpad creates a key named keystore-m_12381_3600_0_0_0-_PHONE_.json, then the password must be named keystore-m_12381_3600_0_0_0-_PHONE_.txt.
Start the validator
Run Teku and specify the validator key files created earlier, and the text files containing the password to decrypt the validator key.
Example
teku --network=medalla --eth1-endpoint=http://localhost:8545 \
--validator-keys=validator/keys/validator_888eef.json:validator/passwords/validator_888eef.txt \
--rest-api-enabled=true --rest-api-docs-enabled=true \
--metrics-enabled
Alternatively, use --validator-keys to specify the directory to load multiple keys and passwords from.
Example
teku --network=medalla --eth1-endpoint=http://localhost:8545 \
--validator-keys=validator/keys:validator/passwords \
--rest-api-enabled=true --rest-api-docs-enabled=true \
--metrics-enabled
Once the validator is activated, view it on the beacon chain explorer at _URL_
Run a beacon chain client only
You can run a Teku beacon chain node on a network without any validators.
Example
teku --network=medalla --metrics-enabled --rest-api-enabled --rest-api-docs-enabled
Add a beacon chain client to Eth2stats
You can add the beacon chain node to Eth2stats for monitoring.
Ensure you enable metrics using the --metrics-enabled option when starting Teku.

The following has already been listed as a feature request at Adobe Bug System and is only to illustrate the situation which is basically the lack of badly needed functionality in ActionScript 3.
The problem relates to
flash.geom.PerspectiveProjection introduced with the load of native 3D in Flash 10.
- The object is added to the stage with the defined x, y, z, rotationX, rotationY and rotationZ properties.
- For a better 3D impression, perspective projection is applied.
- After all transformations on-screen size of the object is required.
The code is illustrative and self-explanatory:
addPerspective() method adds perspective projection and
visibleBitmapBounds() returns a Rectangle with visible bounds of the object.
The result and the problem
Depending on the stage size, the result is the blue 3D-rotated plane in the perspective alongside the traceback:
Plane size: 274x365 Plane bounds: (x=256, y=209, w=274, h=365) Visible, on-screen bounds of the Plane: (x=258, y=215, w=171, h=287)
Plane size and bounds are correct to what it is without perspective transformations, but they don't help with the size of an object on screen.
So what is currently missing from ActionScript 3 entirely, is the means to get visible bounds of the DisplayObject that has perspective projection. It is especially painful if the object can't be output to stage for measuring (
If any math geniuses have a better way to get visible bounds of the object with perspective projection, you're most welcome to share it!

Spider legs use hydraulic pressure. When they die their legs curl because the liquid dries up!
Spiders' legs curl up is because a spider uses hydraulic pressure to push liquid into it's legs that allow it to move, and when it dies the liquid drains out making the legs curl up
If you've ever killed a spider (without completely squishing it) or come across one that is already dead, you know that their legs curl up beneath them when they die. You may be too busy being grossed out by this eight-legged creature to wonder just why this is. Human's limbs don't curl inward after they die. So what is going on with this posthumous tendency.
It turns out that spiders' legs are hydraulic. Or more specifically, two of the six joints in their legs are hydraulic. In order to straighten these joints and subsequently their legs, spiders flex their muscles and increase the pressure. When the spider dies, it obviously loses control over it's leg system and relaxes. The legs then curl upward automatically because no pressure is keeping them straightened.

How to Identify a Walbro Carburetor
Updated November 21, 2016
Walbro is a manufacturer of small-engine carburettors and their product line-up includes two-cycle, four-cycle and diaphragm carburettor models. The Walbro carburettor is commonly used on lawnmowers, chain saws and other equipment powered by small engines. Tecumseh is a popular brand that uses various Walbro carburettor models on select Tecumseh products, including Walbro's WT, WHG and LMK models. Walbro carburettor identification is a straightforward process which requires locating the Walbro identification number stamped on the outside body of the carburettor.
Locate the carburettor in question on the engine. On small engines, the carburettor is a prominent feature of the engine, bolted to the side of the engine with a fuel line attached to it, and an air cleaner covering it.
Search the carburettor body for the Walbro carburettor identification numbers. According to the Small Engine Advisor site, Walbro identification numbers are normally found on the outside body of the carburettor. Walbro carburettor identification codes are a combination of letters and numbers, WT-160B, for example. Also, the Walbro name is sometimes prominently cast on the carburettor body.
Determine the Walbro carburettor model using the model identification number. The Walbro computer model in question is identified in the model identification number. Therefore, a carburettor with the model number "WT-160B" is a Walbro WT-series carburettor.

Background and objective: A prospective study was performed to compare argon laser iridotomy and sequential argon laser and Nd:YAG laser iridotomy in dark irides.
Patients and methods: Twenty-four eyes of 17 patients underwent laser iridotomies; 13 underwent argon laser iridotomies and 11 underwent sequential argon laser and Nd:YAG laser iridotomies. The argon laser settings were standardized at 1.2 W, 50-mum spot size, and 0.1-second duration. The Nd:YAG laser was set at 2.5 mJ and single-pulse shots were used.
Results: All of the iridotomies were patent at the end of one treatment session. The mean total energy used for argon laser iridotomy was 8.28 J. For sequential iridotomy, 3.12 J was used for the argon laser stage and 7.5 mJ for the Nd:YAG laser stage.
Conclusion: The total argon laser energy used can be reduced by 2.65 times by using the sequential laser iridotomy technique.

The requirement is to display only selected records as a New Layer pointing to same source data on disk. If I were selecting using attributes of the current layer it would be simple - I use the filter option. But, I have selected a set of records using a Select by Location. It is these set of records I wish to display as a new layer. Duplicate a layer, copies all records, NOT JUST the selected records into the new layer. I am using QGIS 3.10.6.
OR if there could be a way to get the set of selected records and set it as a filter, this would also do.

 QGIS has a number of ways to accomplish this, but it might depend on which kind of spatial selection you're performing. Can you elaborate on your selection method?

In the selected layer create a new field with the field calculator - let's call the new field "visible". Be sure to check the box Update only selected features. Than insert a value - in the most simple case just use a boolean field type and insert TRUE. You now have permanently saved your selection to the attribute table and can duplicate the layer and define a simple filter based on the field "visible".
You could also use a virtual field combined with the expression is_selected to have a dynamic field that changes when the selection changes.
Consider however that once you have the layer duplicated, they rely on the same data source, but selcting features will be done on a by-layer-base: you can have different selections on the two layers.
To update a selection from the original layer on the duplicated layer, consider using a virtual layer. I'm not right away sure how (and if) that works, but probably there is a (simple) way to do that. In case you want to do that, post another question.
3
You might also consider a Virtual Field. I don't know exactly how your selection is functioning, but to demonstrate a non-attribute selection, I'll use a polygons layer and a points layer. I want a duplicate of the polygons layer, but only those which contain a point.
points and polygons
 1. On the toolbar, click New Virtual Layer.
virtual layer
 1. Click Import, and add your map layers to the virtual layer.
 2. Write an SQL expression to filter the input features, using the appropriate function to fit your selection. In my case, I'm using ST_Contains. Depending on your layer(s) and your selection, your SQL will probably look very different.
virtual layer and expression
A benefit of using a virtual layer is that if I edit either the points or the polygons layer, the virtual layer will stay up-to-date.
2
You can use the following
layer = iface.activeLayer()
fids = ["{}".format(i['fid']) for i in layer.selectedFeatures()] # If number
# fids = ["'{}'".format(i['fid']) for i in layer.selectedFeatures()] # If String
layer_copy = layer.clone()
layer_copy.setSubsetString('fid IN ({})'.format(', '.join(fids)))
QgsProject.instance().addMapLayer(layer_copy)
Here fid is the column name of the primary key in the original layer. You should change it. In this case, it contains number so I did not need to quote elements in the IN statement but if string you will have to quote (see commented line of the code)
I'm not sure for large selection, the recipe is a good idea e.g putting a large "column_name in (...)".
Instead, if possible, you should better use a virtual layer to make a query to get the equivalent of your "Select by Location".

Lesser Long-nosed Bats:
Nectar-powered Bat Math!
Counting the Calories in Cactus
Contributed by Ginny Dalton, Bat Biologist
Merlin D. Tuttle,BCI
ever wonder: How much energy does it take to operate a bat? How many
flowers must a bat visit to stay alive?
Get ready to count the calories in a cactus flower! After reading this page,
you'll know everything necessary to answer these questions:
- How many
saguaro flowers does a bat have to visit to sustain it for one day?
- For how
many minutes does a bat have to forage to get the nectar it needs
- How many
saguaro plants do you think would be needed to feed a maternity colony
of 10,000 Leptos?
is the minimum number of hectares of land required to feed a bat
colony containing 10,000
Much Energy to Operate a Bat?
Let's look at how much energy is required by an adult Lepto. Here's an animal
with a big energy demand for its size! (Now, nobody has ever measured this
exactly for Leptos, but we can use information about other bats and extend
the results logically.) It takes roughly 20.2 kcal to maintain one of these
bats for a day. A Lepto uses about 100 times less energy in a day than a human
does, as you can see on the chart below. But it weighs 2,000 times less. Obviously
it takes more energy to operate an ounce of bat that an ounce of human! Why?
Well, for one thing, bats fly--and the energetic cost of flight is high.
*NOTE ABOUT CALORIES: There is confusion in the layman's literature
regarding calories. The calorie in everyday use is actually a kilocalorie (kcal,
also designated Calorie, with a capital "C"), 1000
times larger than a calorie with a lower case "c"). In
fact, the makers of labels on food boxes and cans in the grocery
store are careless in their representation of this energy unit. The
labels correctly use the upper case when stating total Calories of
the food within, but then many of them say "based on a 2,000
calorie diet." Note the lower case "c." If literally
interpreted, it is based on a 2 Cal (or kcal) diet, which doesn't
make any sense. You and I can't live on 2 Calories a day!! They actually
meant to write "Calorie;" instead they wrote "calorie."
Calories in Cactus Flowers
How much energy is available in the nectar of the flowers Leptos visit?
(Lepto is short for Leptonycteris curasoae, or lesser long-nosed bats.)
It has been calculated that the nectar in saguaro flowers is about 24% sugar.
This nectar if very sweet: For comparison, Classic Coke is 10% sugar! Each
flower holds about 1.0 ml (milliliter) nectar. A single bat only takes about
0.1 ml with each visit to a flower. A bat's stomach can hold about 4 ml of
fluid when full. Of those stomachs measured, 3 ml are sugar water and the remaining
1 ml was pollen.
There are about 4 calories (= 0.004 kcal) in a mg (milligram) of sugar. There
is 1.0 mg sugar in each microliter (.001 ml) of nectar. So how many calories
in 1.0 ml, the amount a flower holds? If a bat drains an entire flower, how
many visits would the bat have to make to the flower? And how many total calories
would it get from that single flower? (Don't forget to multiply your answer
in cal/ml by 0.24 since the nectar contains only 24% sugar.) I got 960 cal
(0.960 kcal) in a single flower that contains 1.0 ml nectar. So, since a bat
takes about 0.1 ml for each visit, a bat would have to visit about 10 flowers
to get those 960 cal.
Q. How many flowers total
does a bat have to visit to sustain it for one day (20,200 cal = 20.2
8 flowers per saguaro per night, how many saguaro plants would have
to be visited? _______
it takes about 30 seconds per visit to a flower (that includes transit
time to the flower) for one sip (0.1 ml) of nectar. That makes us wonder:
Q. For how
many minutes does a bat have to be flying to get the nectar
it needs each day (24 hours)? _____________
More Bat Math: Mama and Baby Bats
Each female gives birth to a single young each year.
Just think how much energy will be needed by the pregnant bats
after they give birth and start nursing! Not enough information
is available for calculating the exact requirements for pregnant
females, but a near-term fetus of a 22- gram female bat can weigh
as much as 8 grams. A pregnant bat carrying that heavy a load can
require about 40% more power for flight. Of all the calculations
conducted on females during the various reproductive stages, lactation
(when the young are nursing) is the most energetically demanding
on the female.
that, for the two months a female is pregnant, she requires an average
of 27 flowers per night, since pregnant females require more energy.
During pregnancy, how many flowers will one female require? ______
How many flowers will be required by 10,000 females? _______From studies
conducted around Tucson, Arizona, the average saguaro produces 295
flowers per plant per growing season. (A single plant blooms from 27
to 61 days and each plant can produce from 82 to 980 blossoms!)
Q. How many saguaro
plants do you think would be needed to feed a maternity colony
of 10,000 Leptos? _________
are 6 saguaro plants per hectare on average. Using the figure of 295
flowers per plant per nearly 2-month season, what is the minimum number
of hectares of land required to feed a bat colony containing 10,000
pregnant bats? _______________

According to the National Heritage Resources Act, all meteorites are considered protected property of the nation and there are rules regarding what can be done with them
Interestingly, because a meteorite is defined as "any naturally-occurring object of extraterrestrial origin",
this means that if an alien landed in SA he/she/it would become the property of the State.
Should an alien arrive and find that SA did not suit its disposition,
it would not need a passport to leave
but it would have to acquire an export permit from the South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA).

Peruvian president apologizes for wartime persecution of Japanese
Peru President Alan Garcia. Kyodo file photo
LIMA, Peru (Kyodo) — Peruvian President Alan Garcia apologized June 14 for his government's persecution and forced emigration of Japanese and Japanese Peruvians to the United States during World War II, marking the first such gesture by the Andean country, according a diplomatic source.
The apology came during his speech delivered at a Japanese Peruvian hospital facility in the capital.
Mass immigration from Japan began in 1899, with many immigrants having achieved success in the following years prior to the war. But once Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the Peruvian government banned assemblies by Japanese and Japanese Peruvians, froze their assets and sent about 1,800 of them to internment camps in the United States.
Garcia is known for his friendliness to Japan, one example of which is his decision to stipulate a day of mourning after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami that hit Northeastern Japan.
Although he is completing his term of office in July, Garcia is widely expected to seek re-election in the next presidential race in 2016, prompting speculation that his latest remark was aimed at currying favor with Japanese Peruvians, who have a measure of influence in Peruvian society.
Leftist Ollanta Humala, who won the presidential runoff earlier this month by defeating the eldest daughter of disgraced former President Alberto Fujimori, is set to succeed Garcia as president.

The Water Diviner (4/10)
Now how best to describe this directorial debut of Russell Crowe… A pretentious hotchpotch or a melodramatic mishmash?
Connor (Crowe) is the water diviner, an Australian farmer with the gift to find things deep under the soil. At his farm, he uses this rare skill to find water in drought-stricken Victoria. When his three sons join the battle of Gallipoli in 1919 they die amongst thousands of other ANZAC soldiers. Guilted into action by his wife, Connor travels to Turkey to use his special skill to find the bodies of his sons so he can bring them home for a proper burial.

Why does yooz leak liquid?
Why does yooz grapefruit leak liquid? Many users of yooz grapefruit have long been troubled by the problem of Vape leakage, so why does yooz grapefruit leak liquid? To understand this, we must first figure out the cause of yooz pomelo leakage.
 1. Why does yooz grapefruit leak liquid?
In fact, liquid leakage from electronic atomization is a relatively common phenomenon, and the mainstream electronic atomization products currently on the market basically have such problems. It can be said that if you choose electronic atomization, you must accept and understand such a phenomenon. This is not a question of which agency or brand. It is a common industry problem, and yooz vape pod system grapefruit is no exception.
In fact, in many cases, the liquid leaks when the manufacturer sends it to the distributors, and the distributors are helpless. Under normal circumstances, slight liquid leakage in the cartridge is a normal phenomenon, as long as you open the package and wipe it clean and install it, it will not affect normal use.
 1. Is it condensate or leaking liquid?
Another situation is that condensate will appear during the operation of the atomizer, which is mistaken for leaking by the user. Therefore, we must first learn to distinguish the difference between condensate and smoke liquid.
How is the condensate produced? Generally speaking, the smoke liquid is not inhaled after being atomized. The PG (alcohol fusion agent) in the smoke liquid is condensed in the air to form a liquid containing a small amount of smoke liquid. Inhalation will eventually taste sweet and irritating. Let everyone mistake it for leaking liquid. The color of the condensed night is dark brown, and the liquid leaked by the smoke bomb is mainly light yellow, which is still very different.

Binding Images to GridView from a Folder where image info defined in Text file
Today, in this post I am going to post binding images from folders where the image file names are mentioned in the text file. The text file contains list of file names with the path which is stored. It also contains image urls which is accessible from internet/internet.
There are two different scenarios I am taking to implement considering the image path stores in a text file. They are –
 1. There is a text file stored in application which contains list of file name with path. The application required to fetch the file name from the text file and bind the imaged to the GridView.
 2. Same as above post, but addition to this the text file also contains some information about each image (Ex: Title of the Image, Description). So when showing images, the system also needs to show the information about the images.
The implementation of the first scenario is follows:
The Text file contains list of image file name with path, full Image url which can be accessible by http/https.

Use SL Shapes
Note: The video was made for Avastar-1.0 However it should still be helpful for Avastar-1.2
Step 1: Export your Shape from SL or OpenSimThe procedure to export the Character shape may vary depending on which viewer you actually use. We use the default SL Viewer.
(where nnn is a number)C:\Users\gaia\AppData\Roaming\SecondLife\logs\Gaia_Clary_nnn.xml
Note: the file path contains your Windows user name (mine is gaia) and your SL user name.
Step 2: Import to Avastar
Create a new Avastar
Add a new Avastar Character
add -> Avastar
This will create a new female Avastar character. After a short time (typically 2-4 secs) a new Avastar character is created in the 3D View and at the current 3D cursor location.
We do not use any of the Ruth shapes, because there is no clear definition what Ruth is. While there is an official definition of the default shape. In SL you create the default shape from your Inventory:
What you should know
- New Avastar characters can only be created when you are in Object Mode!
- A new character will be placed at the current 3D Cursor location.
- You can hide ('h') or remove ('x') not needed parts (like the skirt or the hair for example) without breaking the tools.
- You can create as many characters as you like and thus you can create multi-character animations. Multi-character animations will be explained in the reference guide.
- The character that you know from avatar.blend or from the workbench (sometimes also named "ruth") looks different from the default Avastar character. this is not a mistake. Further explanations can be found in the Avastar vs. Workbench Skeleton article.
Note: The Armature Info Panel shows the version difference between your Armature (in the example My Rig and the Avastar Version (1.1.20 in the example).
(1) Currently old Blend files will not show an Armature version, because this feature is very new. Because of that you often do not see any version info. But this is enough for Avastar to know the Armature is outdated.
- Armature name
- Avastar Version number
- Rig version Number (may be empty)
- Version Mismatch Info (if applicable)
- List of assigned Custom Meshes
- Number of animated Bones
Whenever Avastar detects a Version Mismatch, then it offers an Update Button in the Avastar Tools Panel:
Inplace Armature Update
- Select your old mesh or your old Armature.
- Then – in the Tool Shelf – look for Armature Info. If Avastar indicates a Version Mismatch, then…
- Look for the Avastar Tools Panel and click on Update Avastar.
Load your Shape
The Avastar Shape (Properties, Object Section)
Avastar can import and export shapes from OpenSim or any compatible online world. You find the import/export functions in the Object properties of the Avastar Armature:
- Go to object mode.
- Select the Rig (RMB on the yellow circles around the mesh).
- Open the Properties window.
- Navigate to the "Object" properties.
There you find a panel "Avatar Shape". This panel displayes a subpanel with 5 main functions.
This function allows you to upload a Shape that you have previously exported from your online world: In most viewers there is a shape export option hidden in the advanced menu ("Advanced" -> "Character" -> "Charater Tests" -> "Appearance to XML"). This will silently create a file called:
This file contains your current shape and can be loaded into Avastar, where [application_folder] is the viewer's application data folder. For Windows this folder is located at:
Save Shape to
As mentioned above the default option is to save to File. But you can also save to a Blender textblock. In that case the slider values can be found in the Blender text editor panel. The values correspond to the shape settings in the SL viewer.
Note: You can use the Singularity Viewer to import a shape file to SL. To see the file, switch to the Blender Text editor and locate Shape for: Avatar (Avatar stands for the name of the Armature). Useful when you need to update the shape in SL with the values from blender.
This resets the Avastar meshes to the current Shape values. Useful together with the new custom shape key function (see below). Also if you messed up the Avastar meshes (by editing them) you can return the mesh back to the current shape slider values.
Reset to Default Shape
Set the entire shape back to the Avastar default setup (the same as the SL Default shape which you get when you create a new Shape)
Delete Avastar Shapes
Remove all Shapesfrom the Avastar character. You will want this when you use the rig for non human characters where keeping the Avastar human meshes make no sense.
Load Shape Editor
Export to Collada
Export your Character as Collada
Hint: You usually can keep the default settings and just click on the "Collada(Avastar)(.dae)" button. A File Selector will pop up. Here you can navigate to your export directory and then export your file as a Collada file (using the file extension ".dae")
By default Avastar applies all mesh changing Modifiers except the Armature Modifiers to the exported meshes. However, some modifiers have 2 sets of options, one option set is for rendering, the other option set is for the Viewport. We provide 3 options here:
- Apply according to the View Settings (the 3D Preview settings)
- Apply according to the Render Settings (the settings for Blender's own Renderer)
- Don't apply modifiers and only export the base mesh
The View settings will be applied by default. These settings are very closely related to the Blender Render System. In most cases you can actually just use the defaults. We will get back to this when we talk about how to use (or not use) Modifiers.
We will get to armature Modifiers in the "Create an Attachment" tutorial.
Textures export (advanced)
Note: But for rigged meshes the images are not recognized.
- UV Textures & Material Textures: Blender supports Material based textures and UV textures (which are directly assigned to polygons). Normally you want to export only the UV textures. In rare cases it is more desirable to export the material based textures instead. But beware, Blender does not export the render results, but only the source images!
- Image Type: The image format is typically predefined in the Blender Render settings. However we found it convenient to provide an immediate setting in the Exporter. By default the image type will be applied ONLY to generated images.
- Use 'Image format' for all images: If this option is set, then Blender will use the selected image format for all exported images. If the option is disabled, then only the generated images will be affected.
- Use RGBA: Blender can export the Alpha channel for images. Normally this is controlled in the render settings where you can specify to use either RGB or RGBA for image exports. If the currently selected export format supports Alpha then enabling RGBA here will export images with Alpha channel even if the render settings are set to RGB and vice versa.
Hint: You may want to NOT use RGBA because of the Alpha glitch. However this is not a general advice. There are many situations where using Alpha images is even recommended (for example when you want to create an Alpha mask).
Hint: If the format of the exported image(es) does not support an Alpha channel then the "Use RGBA" option is simply ignored.
bone bug fix: We have found that some online worlds have serious issues with modified Joint offsets for Collision volumes and Attachments(1). Hence we suppress the export of joint offsets for collision volumes and attachment bones by default.(1): The technical details are related to the SL Importer's option With Joint Positions The Skeleton can be modified (in edit mode) to create other rest poses than the default rest pose (T-Pose) When you do that, you actually move the Joint Offsets away from their default locations. And you will later have to set "with Joint Offset" during import in order to get your modified sjkeleton uploaded.
Step 3: Import your Character to SLOnce you have exported your Mesh character, you only need to import it to your target System (like SL or a compatible online world). Although this is easy in principle, there are a few pitfalls in your way. So let us take a deeper look into the Mesh Importer.
The Video explains:
- How to import a rigged Mesh to SL, OpenSim or similar online worlds.
- How to use an Alpha mask for hiding the default character
- How to use image textures to texturise your character.
- Potential problems with your meshes (visible seams, wrong shape, missing face animations)
Upload the model
The LOD Panel
The Options Panel
Step 4: (Optional) Import your Shape back to SL
Exporting a Shape from Avastar
- Ensure Blender is in Object Mode
- Select the Avastar Armature
- in the Object Properties locate the Avatar Shape panel
- There you find a Save Shape To option
Importing a Shape to Second Life (using Firestorm)
- Enter the Appearance Editor in your Firestorm Viewer
- Down in the right lower corner of the editor you find an Import option

Under a deregulated environment, ancillary services (AS) are defined as the set of products separated from the energy production, which are related to security and reliability of a power system. Ancillary services can be classified in: (a) active power ancillary services (load–frequency control (LFC)—including primary control, automatic generation control (AGC), tertiary control, balancing service and black start provision) and (b) reactive power ancillary services (voltage control). The system operator is the entity responsible for the secure operation of the power system and in this way, the management of all the AS is considered a specific function of the system operator. Under a deregulated framework, ancillary services are separated from the energy production, and can be mandatory or remunerated under market-driven mechanisms. This paper overviews the management of ancillary services in the Spanish power system, including a detailed technical description of the services and the organization of the ancillary services markets. In addition, a comprehensive review of different optimization algorithms and tools used by the agents and system operator within the Spanish electricity business is presented.

Geo can be used in combination with Object Storage (AWS S3, or other compatible object storage).
Currently, secondary sites can use either:
- The same storage bucket as the primary site.
- A replicated storage bucket.
- Local storage, if the primary uses local storage.
The storage method (local or object storage) for files is recorded in the database, and the database is replicated from the primary Geo site to the secondary Geo site.
When accessing an uploaded object, we get its storage method (local or object storage) from the database, so the secondary Geo site must match the storage method of the primary Geo site.
Therefore, if the primary Geo site uses object storage, the secondary Geo site must use it too.
- GitLab manage replication, follow Enabling GitLab replication.
- Third-party services manage replication, follow Third-party replication services.
Introduced in GitLab 12.4.
Secondary sites can replicate files stored on the primary site regardless of whether they are stored on the local file system or in object storage.
To enable GitLab replication:
- On the top bar, select Menu > Admin.
- On the left sidebar, select Geo > Nodes.
- Select Edit on the secondary site.
- In the Synchronization Settings section, find the Allow this secondary node to replicate content on Object Storage checkbox to enable it.

If you want to migrate the primary site's files to object storage, you can configure the secondary in a few ways:
- Use the exact same object storage.
- Use a separate object store but leverage your object storage solution's built-in replication.
- Use a separate object store and enable the Allow this secondary node to replicate content on Object Storage setting.
GitLab does not currently support the case where both:
- The primary site uses local storage.
- A secondary site uses object storage.
When using Amazon S3, you can use Cross-Region Replication (CRR) to have automatic replication between the bucket used by the primary site and the bucket used by secondary sites.

The UISlider control offers a way to continuously get values from the user within a range of set values. In the Interface Builder library of controls, there is only a horizontal version of the slider, with no obvious way to change its orientation. In this blog, we'll learn how to rotate the slider control to a vertical orientation. So let's get started!
Start Xcode, choose "Create a new Xcode project," and select the Single View Application template. Click Next, name the project VerticalSlider, and choose options as shown:
Click Next, choose a location to save the project, and click Create.
Open ViewController.xib, and place a slider control on the view. Adjust the Minimum, Maximum, and Current values to 0, 360, and 0 as shown below. Also drag a UILabel control to the view, stretch it out and center it, and set the text to 44 points. Change the text in the label to "0", and center the text in the label.
Now open ViewController.h and make changes as shown here:
_USER_ ViewController : UIViewController
_USER_ (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UISlider *slider;
_USER_ (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UILabel *display;
- (IBAction)sliderValueChanged:(UISlider *)sender;
We've added outlet properties for both the slider and the label. Normally, we would not add an outlet for the slider, but in this application we want to change some properties of the slider object (make it vertical): we need an outlet to do that.
We've also added a method to detect a change in the value of the slider control. Reopen ViewController.xib, and wire up these properties and methods as shown here:
Make sure that the Value Changed event is selected in the slider.
Now open ViewController.m and make these changes to the file:
_USER_ ViewController ()
float r = d * (M_PI / 180);
- (IBAction)sliderValueChanged:(UISlider *)sender
self.display.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", (int)sender.value];
CGAffineTransform labelRotation = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
labelRotation = CGAffineTransformRotate(labelRotation, [self degrees2radians:sender.value]);
self.display.transform = labelRotation;
// Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.
CGAffineTransform sliderRotation = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
sliderRotation = CGAffineTransformRotate(sliderRotation, -(M_PI / 2));
self.slider.transform = sliderRotation;
// Release any retained subviews of the main view.
return (interfaceOrientation!= UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown);
After synthesizing the properties, we define a helper method, degrees2radians:, that converts a floating point number of degrees to radian measure. As humans, we tend to think of angles in degrees, but radian measure is used exclusively in most (if not all) graphics libraries. The conversion is simple: 360 degrees == 2π radians, so 1 radian == 2π / 360 degrees. Factoring out the 2 gives us π / 180. We can therefore convert degrees to radians by multiplying the number of degrees with π / 180.
Look next at viewDidLoad: (we'll come back to sliderValueChanged: in a moment). After calling through to super, we apply an affine transform to the slider's underlying view. This is possible because a UISlider (like all controls) is a descendent of UIView: UISlider ← UIControl ← UIView. As we already know, views can be transformed in a number of ways: they can be moved, scaled, and rotated.
First, we get a transform matrix by setting a local variable to the identity matrix. We then alter this matrix by applying a rotation transform (CGAffineTransformRotate) to it through -(π / 2) radians (-90 degrees). This value is then assigned to the transform property of the slider, which rotates the slider by 90 degrees in the counterclockwise direction. Higher values on the slider will therefore be "up."
The default center of rotation for a UIView object is the center of the view, calculated as the width of the view / 2 and the height of the view / 2. This transform therefore performs rotation about the center of the control. (If we want to rotate about another point, we must set the rotation point on the view's layer.)
In sliderValueChanged:, we set the text of the label to the value of the slider as an NSString, formatted with the slider's value cast to the integer type. We then apply a rotational transform to the label, converting the slider's value (degrees) into radian measure.
Run the application, and note that both the text and angle of the label change as the slider thumb is moved up and down:
(Of course, the slider itself is oriented vertically, which is the whole point of the blog!)
There is nothing that says the orientation of any control can't be at an arbitrary angle, for example, we could have oriented the slider at 45 degrees:
But such orientations are confusing to the user: changing in two directions at once (both horizontally and vertically) implies a change in two independent variables. Unless there is a very good reason to do this, keep the slider in either the default horizontal orientation, or the

Using BIN/CUE Files
Post by NiKEUS »
How to use bin/cue files:
What are they
Bin files are image files of the CDs you are trying to get. They are created from various programs. Cue files are basically something that tells burning software like Nero where and how to burn these files. They aren't always needed but they do make things easier.
Note: You do not need to burn bin files to use them. READ ON for more information
How to burn them
The following steps are written by dead frog
Here's what you do (using Nero, using "Frogland" as example).
-DownloadCDmage _URL_
and check the bin for errors first. If it finds some it will attempt to correct, but the chance of burning a copy with errors is now higher.
-Open the .cue with notepad and make sure the filename on line 1 matches the filename you're trying to burn. If you want to reduce the chance of 'line 1' errors, change the filename (and the one in the cue) to something like frogland.bin, instead of one with redundant info like frogland.ripped.by.frogga.sharereactor.(FTC).share_or_be_disconnected.bin
 - - Do the filenames match now?
 - Are you sure?
 - Put cue and bin in the same directory
 - Start Nero, select "Burn Image" from the 'file' menu (or Recorder, Burn Image in newer versions of Nero)
 - Find the directory with the cue (and bin) in it.
 - Click on da cue
 - Change your burning options (simulation, etc) and click write
 - It burns. You're done!
A quick way to do bin/cue files is to skip to step 5. If it doesn't work then it means that the cue file is incorrect or you don't have the bin file in the same folder as the cue file.
From this point you can just fix the cue file by opening it notepad(read furthur down) or you can try burning the bin file in Nero with the same "burn image" command. Select the bin file and burn it as "data mode 2". I like using the cue file so I don't use the second option all too much.
If you only have the .bin and are missing the .cue
Try MakeCue _URL_
it'll allow you to create a .cue for the type of .bin file you're dealing with.

No CD burner? Lack of disks? Want to test before burning? Too lazy to burn that disk? Daemon tools may have the answer.
Mounting an image:
Right-click on the Daemon-Tools trayicon
Select Virtual CD/DVD-ROM
Select Device [?:]
Click Mount
Browse and select the image you wish to mount
Click OK or double-click on the file to mount
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unmounting an image:
Right-click on the Daemon-Tools trayicon
Select Virtual CD/DVD-ROM
Select Device [?:]
Click Unmount
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enabling Protection Emulations:
Right-click on the Daemon-Tools trayicon
Select Emulation
Click on the desired emulation to enable
Note: You can find more information about CD Protections by clicking here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fast Dump:
Daemon-Tools' "fastdump" feature is used to speed up the image creation of Safedisc 1 & 2 protected CDs and is also the first step to create a backup of a Safedisc 2 protected CD.
Enable safedisc emulation
Install the game you want to backup
Start the game, and wait until the safedisc check is over (you usually see a splash screen while it is safedisc checking)
Exit the program and do NOT remove the CD
Run your burning program (a list of suitable burning programs can be found here)
Start image creation or copying
You might see a list of errors for up to 20 seconds, which is normal
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Command Line Switces
-lock
used to lock the DLL operation to be sure no unauthorized program can load daemon.dll and use its functions. Used mainly in autostart (if 'Autolock' option is enabled), but can be used in command line too. Unlocking can be done from Virtual DAEMON manager or other GUI that is currently running. Note that locking has no effect on DAEMON Manager itself or other programs which have been 'authorized' by us to use the DLL.
-noicon
this option is used to prevent Daemon-Tools from creating a taskbar icon. It has no effect if DAEMON manager is already running or you specified another command (except 'lock') in the command line! DAEMON manager automatically exits after command is executed and does not create taskbar icon.
-mount
allows mounting images from command line (or shortcut).
Syntax is: -mount <n>,<path>
where 'n' means DVD-ROM device number ('0' - '3' allowed) and 'path' is the full path to the image file.
Example: daemon.exe -mount 0,"c:\My Images\nameofimage.cue".
Do not forget to set the path in quotes if it contains spaces!
-unmount
allows unmounting images from command line.
Syntax is: -unmount <n>
where 'n' means DVD-ROM device number ('0' - '3' allowed)
-safedisc ?
allows turning Safedisc emulation on/off from command line.
'-safedisc on' enables emulation, '-safedisc off' disables it
-securom ?
allows turning Securom emulation on/off from command line.
'-securom on' enables emulation, '-securom off' disables it
-laserlok ?
allows turning Laserlock emulation on/off from command line.
'-laserlok on' enables emulation, '-laserlok off' disables it.
-rmps ?
allows turning RMPS emulation on/off from command line.
'-rmps on' enables emulation, '-rmps off' disables it.

text: Deduplication is an effective way to improve storage utilization by eliminating redundant copies of duplicate data and replacing them with logical pointers to the unique copy. At present, it has been widely used in backup and archive systems. However, most of the existing deduplication systems use hashing to compute and compare data chunks to determine whether they are redundant. The Hash-based exact match is too strict for many applications, for example image deduplication. To solve this problem, a fast and accurate image deduplication approach is presented. We firstly give the definition of duplicate images according to the characteristics of Web images, and then divide image deduplication into two stages: duplicate image detection and duplicate image deduplication. In the first stage, we use perceptual hashing to improve image retrieval speed and multiple filters to improve image retrieval accuracy. In the second stage, we use fuzzy logic reasoning to select the proper centroid-images from duplicate image sets by simulating the process of human thinking. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach not only has a fast and accurate ability to detect duplicate images, but also meets users'perceptive requirements in the selection of centroid-images.

Ancient Armenian church surfaces from under Lake Van
Armradio – The ancient Armenian church of Archesh has emerged as a result of water level decrease in Lake Van, Agos reports.
The church is part of the city of Old Archesh, which went underwater in 1841, when the water level of Lake Van rose. However, as a result of the drought, the sunken city surfaced when the waters retreated.
"And now, unfortunately, it is being destroyed by the excavations of treasure hunters. If no precautions are taken, another historical legacy will disappear," scholar Sedat Ulugana writes in Agos.
The author notes that until today, everyone has been speaking about the structures inside the castle of Old Archesh and the historical mosque, but the church has never been mentioned.


Enoch Bartlett
American merchant
Enoch Bartlett (1779–1860) was a farmer from Dorchester, Massachusetts.
He bought Thomas Brewer's farm in Roxbury. This farm had a field of pear trees, which he named after himself, as he did not know the fruit already had a name.
In 1828 a new batch of pear trees arrived from England, and it was realised that the Bartlett pear was the same as the Williams pear, but by this time the name had stuck, and is still the commonest name for this type of pear in Canada and the United States.

The flange thickness and rim inside thickness of the wheelset are key parameters that influence the wheel-rail contact. With the speed continuous increase of the rail vehicles, the wear of wheelset is becoming more and more serious, thus accelerating the changes of wheelset's flanges, which will certainly bring security hidden troubles to the operation of railway, so it is very important to realize dynamic measurements of the wheelset's flange thickness and rim inside thickness. This paper proposes a novel real-time measurement method to wheelsets based on the image processing. This system based on the triangular principle uses CCD (Charge-coupled device) to obtain the information of the wheelsets. In this system, the flange thickness can be uncontacted measured in real time. The standard deviation of the rim inside thickness is 0.47mm and that of the flange thickness is 0.635mm, and the error range is Â±0.8mm, and Â±1.0mm, respectively. When the train passes through the measurement system at the speed of 5km/h, the measurement results show that the measurement system can meet the measuring requirement on line.

VMware
Setting Custom Attributes in VMware programtically
If you have more than a few VMs in your ESX environment, you have already found a need to properly organize the VMs with folders and hierarchies. However, this structure goes away when you view all the VMs in your datacenter, making your carefully created tree structure useless.
The good news is that VMware has a "Custom Attribute" option for each VM. Displayed next to the Notes field, this allows you to define attributes like Customer, Department, Owner, Production Status or anything else you can imagine to tag every system in your environment. The question is – how to do this without manually typing in the attribute for each VM: and in comes powershell.
Assuming you want to create an attribute to match your folder structure, you can use the Get-Vm -Location powershell command to retrieve a list of all VMs in a folder (and sub folders). Pipe this output into the Set-CustomField command and let the computer do the work for you. An example of this is below
Get-Vm -Location 'App X' | Set-CustomField -Name 'System Function' -Value 'App X'
You can use other switches with Get-Vm to filter on name, datastores, host servers, and other options.

The History of the Smallest Park in the World
mill ends park, portland, smallest park in the world
written by Bronte Dod | photos by Rob Kerr
At just 2 feet across and with an area of 452 square inches, a circular cement urban park sits in the middle of Downtown Portland's Naito Parkway. Mill Ends Park, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the smallest park in the world, came about in 1948 when columnist Dick Fagan of the Oregon Journal planted flowers in a hole where city workers failed to put a light post.
mill ends park, portland, smallest park in the world
Strange happenings involve Mill Ends Park. Take the Occupy Portland movement in 2011, when someone placed plastic green army men at the park. In 2013, someone stole the park's sapling, but it resurfaced the next day. Mill Ends also caused a brief international dispute in 2014, when citizens in Burntwood, England, thought the record should be held by a park there, because it actually served as a recreation area. In the end, Mill Ends keeps its title, cementing its place in Portland's long list of popular oddities and shenanigans.

Although Paypal and the bank are similar in some aspects, they are two different entities that operate under different authorities. And each entity is not allowed to impose any limitations on other territories. In that sense, PayPal does not have any direct control over your bank account but can put restrictions on your PayPal account only.
However, when PayPal freezes any particular account, the respective account holder cannot transfer money to their bank account, which means it can indirectly freeze the individual account holder's linked bank account. So you need to be more concerned about PayPal's restrictions on PayPal accounts. Let's explore more about tissue.
PayPal is an online platform through which its users (business and personal) send and receive money. On the other hand, banks also send and receive money, but they are not limited to transaction activity only. Instead, they help people deposit their money, invest, and do many other activities.
So PayPal can be considered a partial online bank but not a bank due to its lower involvement in other banking activities. However, their transaction to be made more clearly requires the involvement of a bank; PayPal is somehow dependent on banks to send their users money to their bank account.
To do so, Users need to link their bank accounts with their PayPal accounts. To complete this process, they must provide PayPal with the necessary details of the bank account, which involve the bank account number, name, or branch location.
Once combining the PayPal account with the bank is done, users can send money from PayPal to their bank or from their bank to PayPal. So overall, the primary relationship between banks and PayPal is to ensure the smooth movement of transactions between two entities.
As stated, PayPal does not have direct control over freezing your bank account. Still, when you are restricted from transferring money from your PayPal account to your bank account, it means Paypal is indirectly freezing your linked bank account. Let's explore the dynamics between the bank account and the PayPal account.
You cannot send or withdraw money if your account is frozen or restricted. As soon as PayPal limits your account, they will let you know the reasons behind the limitation by sending you an email.
There can be many reasons, and, depending on the reasons, they will ask you to complete some steps. By responding to their query, you can remove the limitation. Here are some common reasons:
Sometimes users request PayPal for certain products like debit cards, which require them to obey government rules and regulations; PayPal puts restrictions on your account for a certain period to meet these requirements.
Paypal strictly restricts the sale of banned items such as firearms or prescription drugs. Therefore, selling prohibited items violates their policy, so PayPal may limit your account.
If PayPal detects any fraudulent activity in your account, they may freeze it. These activities include accessing your account without authorization, unauthorized transfers from PayPal to your bank, and someone using your debit and credit cards without your permission.
If you receive a larger amount of money than you usually receive, PayPal may consider the amount illegal. So they may put restrictions on your account and ask you some relevant questions about the source of the money.
If your sales performance reduces, like when more buyers ask for a refund, PayPal may limit your account. Also, if you start selling a more expensive and entirely new product, PayPal may freeze your account.
In many cases, if your sales volume rises above average, PayPal may limit your account.
Last, they may limit your account if it is not used for a long time. You must prove your identity by providing them with the necessary details to restore your account.
Usually, you will get an email. If not, find and go to their "contact us" page. You will have the option to call them at the bottom of the page. In most cases, PayPal needs this basic information from you to restore the account.
- Bank account statement
- Credit card statement that is linked
- Your email address
- Your Telephone Number
Prevention is always better than cure because cure wastes money and time. To prevent future hassle, you can do certain things so account freeze does not happen. Here is what you can do.
- Let PayPal know your big move ahead of time. If you launch a new product, let them know because such a move will likely increase your transaction volume, among other things.
- Let Paypal know your business and tell them not to restrict any significant amount.
- If you have both a debit and credit card, link both to your Paypal account.
- Ensure there is no discrepancy between your PayPal account and bank account names.
- Also, make sure to use the exact address and phone number.
How Long Does Paypal Hold Your Money, and Can You Sue Them?
As per the policy, PayPal can freeze your account for 180 days. However, depending on the severity of the problem, that only occurs occasionally; generally, they resolve the issue within a few days.
On the other hand, if you want to sue them, especially if the amount is more than $10000, you certainly can do that, but there is a chance that the result will come against you.
Also, suing such a big company is not a wise decision if you are not big. Instead, cooperating and solving the issue is a better idea.
Unfortunately, PayPal is not available in many countries. If you live in one of those countries, PayPal does not facilitate transactions for your small business.
No worries if you do not have a PayPal account, or if PayPal is not available in your country, provide a verified PayPal business account. Here is what we offer:
Business and personal Paypal accounts include verified phone numbers, bank, cand, and SSS. You will also get a Paypal email. And login ID verified as a UK resident. To learn more about our services, check out our website here.
Hopefully, the above discussion helped solve the account freezing issue. Still, you might have some questions. Here are some frequently asked questions that you might want to know.
It is a common practice and necessary to link your bank account with your Paypal account. And it is safe, and Paypal is serious about securing bank information. They use technology like end-to-end encryption on every transaction.
Paypal uses technology to secure your account from theft. Some people are concerned about hacked PayPal accounts, which is highly unlikely. Until the hacker has login details,
Paypal account limitations refer to restrictions on any account preventing users from sending and withdrawing money. It can hold money for six months. The main reason for account limitations is to ensure the safety of both buyers and sellers.
If PayPal is unavailable, you can buy a verified account or use PayPal alternatives. Some popular options include Wise, Google Pay, Payoneer, Stripe, Shopify Payments, and many others.
So there you have it. Here is our final advice, no need to be worried if PayPal freezes your account, which is a very common event.
Most importantly, the purpose of freezing an account is not to hold or seize your money; it is a process to protect your account from threats and ensure safety. Also, ensure you know why your account might be restricted because knowing them will help you avoid future restrictions. And to deal with any issue, contact PayPal directly.


text: We propose a method to implement a speckle-reduced coherent three-dimensional (3D) display system by a combination of integral imaging and photorefractive volume holographic storage. The 3D real object is imaged through the microlens array and stored in the photorefractive crystal. During the reconstruction process a phase conjugate reading beam is used to minimize aberration, and a rotating diffuser located on the imaging plane of the lens array is employed to reduce the speckle noise. The speckle-reduced 3D image with a wide viewing angle can be reconstructed by use of the proposed system. Experimental results are presented and optical parameters of the proposed system are discussed in detail.
